Integrated Studies
Physics Laboratories
We have two physics laboratories, each with six work stations. Every station has its own computer, including PSL interfaces for collecting real-time data, f(g) scholar software, Excel, and Internet access. The physics lecture hall is a fully equipped multi-media room with DVD / VHS / Laserdisk players, a modern projection system, Internet access, remote satellite hookup, a computer interface with PSL hardware for lecture demonstrations, and remote control Personal Response System for classroom assessment.
Class size varies depending on the course (usually less than 30 students). The laboratories have a maximum capacity of 24 students (usually 15-20 students per section).
